About this map

Sunflower Valley sits at the western edge of this 2018 survey, which covers a high-elevation section of the Tonto National Forest along the boundary of Gila and Maricopa counties. The landscape is dominated by the steep slopes of the Mazatzal Mountains, rising to prominent points like Mt Ord and Eagle Peak. This era of the forest is marked by a complex network of water sources, from the isolated Balloon Cabin Spring to the higher-elevation Colcord Springs, which are critical in this arid environment.

Evidence of historical resource extraction is preserved at the Iron Dyke mine site, located near the Slate Creek Divide. Modern recreational use is represented by the Arizona National Scenic Trail, which winds through the western canyons. The map also detail specific topographic features such as Cottonwood Basin and the winding passage of the Reno Pass, illustrating the difficult passage between the high peaks and the valley floors.
